Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to Carefully Reckless, the production of Our Heart Radio
and the Black Effects, A nice little aspect aspected, nice
little And just like that, we're back on the air.
(00:22):
Welcome to yet another episode of Carefully Reckless with your
girl just hilarious. Now listen, grab your te grab your holes,
grab your night quil, your day quill, and everything else.
Because I got mine, and I'm gonna tell you why.
It's story time. So, guys, I went on a date
earlier last week. I'm sitting at the bar with a gentleman. Now,
(00:44):
I like this guy. He's cool. We order our food.
While we're waiting for our food to come out, I
beat him in a couple of hands of uno because
y'all know me, y'all know how I get down. Now
he sucks in this, by the way, but it's fine.
Our food comes out, we say grace. We're eating. I
can't taste my food, so I tap them, babe, taste this.
Can you taste it? Because I can't taste it. After
(01:06):
he tastes it, he's like, well, it's not much flavor
acts for salt and pepper. So I did. I got
the salt pepper and I got the hot sauce right now,
mind you. I had salmon, spinach and mashed potatoes right
and the salmon came with like a greavy sauce that
I should have tasted and put the salt and pepper
on it and the hot sauce. Still couldn't taste it.
I asked him to taste it. He said, no, I
(01:28):
do taste it now. The food is not that flavorful
even still, I said, okay, but I should still be
able to taste the fact that it's not flavorful. You
understand what I'm saying. It was like eating air. So
I tasted his food. He had an apple walnut salad
with salmon as well, could not taste it. I ordered
a Coca Cola with extra its. That's my favorite beverage
(01:51):
other than my Hennessey sidecar with a half sugar room.
Could not taste that either. Now I look over in him,
not tell him. I think I'm gonna need a COVID test.
He was like, calm down, calm down. I was scared.
I'm talking about crying internally, Like I was scared as fun,
you know what I'm saying. So, of course that killed
(02:11):
my appetite. I wasn't even trying to eat anymore. I
was very, very scared upset, and I let him finish
eating his food and we ended the day fine. He
took me back to my car. Now, listen, when he
took me back to my car, there was food that
I left in there from us going out two nights
before that, and it was seafood. I forgot to take
it out my car. Right, so you can imagine the
(02:33):
smell of old oysters and fucking scallops and clams and ship.
You know what I'm saying. That's been sitting in a
hot ass car over the course of forty eight hours. Right.
I jumped in the car and I didn't smell anything.
He said, you don't smell as ship. He smelled the
ship as soon as I opened up the door. I said,
I don't smell anything. He said, it fucking reeks in
(02:55):
the car, Jessica, I said, I do not smell it.
He said, yeah, you might need a COVID test. He
thought I was joking at first, though, I'm like, Babe, no,
I don't smell any of this ship. Now. I had
been feeling nasally for like the past four or five days. Now, listen,
I'm thinking that this is allergies because I have had
(03:16):
severe allergies this year so far. I've never had allergies
until this year, my twenty ninth year of living. I'm
getting a lot of things late. I just got chickenpox
earlier last year, you know, So I'm like fuck. However,
like I said, I'm thinking, this is allergies, right. So
I called my cousin immediately, and I was supposed to
(03:37):
meet up with her to go to dinner. She has
home COVID tests, so I beg her to bring one
for me. Because I'm such a pussy. I cannot do
my own COVID tests. I cannot stick anything up my nose.
I just can't. She has no problem whatsoever doing it, though,
so she drove down from Pennsylvania to give me a
COVID test. She bought two to be exact. The first
(03:57):
one came back positive. I asked her to do it again,
second one positive. I immediately called my friend and I said, listen,
I have COVID. You have to get tested because I
am positive that I have COVID. He took his test,
his came back negative. Now he had already had COVID,
(04:18):
so his chances of getting it again is very low. However,
you can catch COVID twice. His COVID test was negative,
so was my son's, and so was anybody else that
I was around within those last four days prior. So yes,
it's official. COVID had been trying and trying, and yes,
that bitch finally got your girl. COVID got me, guys,
(04:40):
Hence the sound of congestion. Y'all probably can still hear that.
I'm a little n easily. And I know a lot
of y'all have been wondering why she haven't been making
any videos? Why wa wa, why wa wah wah wah,
and even in my story. Okay, I do a lot
of commentary on movie I've just been watching movies land
back during commentary. But y'all have not been saying my
face h because I have COVID and I look flushed
(05:03):
in the face. I don't feel like Donna make up.
I am laying around my house wiggless, walking around my
house wiggless. I just do not feel like myself. This
ship has been kicking my ass up and down my house. Sweetheart,
Where did I get it from? Who the fuck knows?
I travel? I had just came back from Colleen, Texas.
I did a meet and Greek. I just started doing
(05:24):
meet and greets again, you know, ever since they lifted
the mandate of wearing masks. I said, okay, listen, I'm
gonna just give the people what they want and I'm
gonna start doing meet and greets again. So I didn't
meet and Greek. I could have very well got it
in Texas. I could have very well gotten it when
I landed, because when I came back, I had started
going out, you know, I had started, you know, I've
I've been in d C and shipped around motherfucker's all
(05:46):
types of ship. There could be no way of me
knowing who exactly gave it to me, but I do
know that everyone needs to protect themselves. And I am
certainly sure that I am getting the vaccine. And now, listen,
I was one of those people who was against it, like,
you know, oh my god, I don't want it. I
(06:07):
don't want it. I don't want now. I've never had
a flu shot, you know what I'm saying. And I've
had the flu. I've actually went on stage with the flu,
if I can remember it right. I did Comedy Zone
and Raleigh, North Carolina. I don't know if that's exactly right,
but I believe doing the Comedy Zone and Raleigh, North
Carolina doing my show with the flu just like Jordan,
(06:28):
you know what I'm saying. So I guess you can
call me Michael Jordan the Comedy. But this is different.
This is very, very much different. I've never ever been
unable to taste, not smell anything. You know. I have
crazy headaches, you know, all day. The ship affects me crazy.
You know. I got body aches, you know. Um, I
(06:51):
get cold and then I get hot. I get cold
and then I get hot. I'm deeply congested. The only
thing I do not have a is a sore throat.
But I'm telling you guys, this ship hurts and it's
nothing to play with. I have a child, I have
fans to go around. I have to be well, so
I have to get the vaccine. I I am a
person that travel a lot. And then not only do
(07:13):
I travel, I have a lot of contact with people,
you know, physical contact. People see me, run up to me,
give me a hug. A girl told me in the airport,
I don't care. I will catch COVID for you, baby.
I don't want you to catch it. That was before
I had it. Baby, I'm telling you now, if you
are listening, if you're the girl who told me that,
(07:33):
I would never want you to get COVID. Never, because
it's not as simple as you think. No, I do
not feel like I'm about to die. But I am
at the sickest point that I have ever been in
my life. No, I don't feel good. I'm having stomach pains.
It's all kinds of fucking symptoms, and everybody's symptoms are different. Yes,
I'm going to get the vaccine. No, I am not
(07:55):
forcing it on anybody. But if you can do your
part and you want to start living your life the
way that you used to live your life and not
have to be scared of catching COVID, the vaccine definitely
lowers your chances. And I am going to get it
because I got more shows to do, I got more
people to come in contact with. You know what I'm saying.
(08:16):
Protect yourself. Another thing I noticed that people do. People
will be diagnosed with COVID and they will not tell
anyone and still go out around people. That is very selfish.
I could never do that. I know people who have
had COVID and still went out to party around other
people with no masks or anything. I've been in my
(08:36):
house for the past seven days. No, it is not fun,
but I'm doing what i have to do so i
can do my part social distance. Wash your hands, were
your masks, especially if you're not vaccinated. Sanitize your hands
if you have no soap and water, sanitized. I'm telling
you it makes a good difference. Sanitize your door knobs,
your handles, your car, your staring will if you're a
(08:59):
person who shake hands, try to give more hugs. Hold
your breath when you go in for the hug. You
know what I'm saying. All types of stuff like that.
That ship matters, okay, and listen. I have a very
strong immune system. I take vitamins every day, my one
of days, my Elderberry, you know, Vitamin C, vitamin D,
sea moss. I take a teaspoon of sea moss every day.
(09:19):
Even with all of that, I still contracted COVID nineteen. Yes,
it's hard being isolated from the rest of the world. Yes,
it's hard being away from my son. It really is hard.
But I'm doing what i have to do, and I'm
also keeping myself busy. I'm writing comedy. I'm trying to
create content so when I do come up out of
this thing, I can make nice videos for you guys.
(09:42):
I can give y'all what y'all been missing. I'm packing
up my clothes because I'm moving out of my house.
I'm moving into a new condo. So yes, I'm keeping
myself busy, trying my very best. Another thing, y'all know,
I have a little frenchie. He's one and a half.
For some reason, my dog is experience and seeing the
same symptoms that I am. He's not eating in three days,
(10:04):
and I honestly believe in my heart it's because he
can't smell it. My dog is greedy. Now, as soon
as you put a bowl of food down this little
motherfucker's he's gonna go and attack it, demolish the food.
He hasn't touched his food in three days. I honestly
believe I gave my dog COVID. Now A long time ago.
(10:24):
I don't know if y'all remember this, but I was
on Live with Charlemagne, and Charlemagne told me that dogs
can catch COVID. A dog can't give you COVID, but
you can give a dog COVID. They can catch it. Now.
I do believe that to be true because he hasn't
drink anything as well. I honestly just believe that he's
not hungry because he can't smell it. Now. Their immune
(10:48):
systems are even stronger than ours. However, their symptoms still
affect them greatly. So I'm taking Bain to the vet
as soon as I get well. I'm gonna just try
to keep getting him to eat, keep getting him to
drink water. I'm saying this to bring awareness to the
fact that you can give COVID to your pets as well,
(11:08):
So be very very careful. If you love me, you'll
listen to this commercial and then we'll be right back. Now.
If you've ever had COVID, then you know it gets lonely,
and so you would love for people to check on you.
You feel good when people want to know how you're doing.
Who's checking on me? My mom? The guy who I
(11:29):
could have given COVID to, he checks on me every day,
all day throughout the day. You know, I have a
couple of industry friends that check on me. My little
sister and one of my girlfriends check on me every day.
I'm talking about calling this bitch was really get on
the goddamn plane to fly here to fucking check on
(11:51):
me in person. I'm like, girl, you got two beautiful
babies that you cannot take COVID back to. I would
not even let you do that, but it feels good
to know who's there for you and who aren't. Because
I have friends who live here in Baltimore, even family members.
You know who we're really sick who who thought they
had COVID I'm talking about. I was going around these
(12:13):
motherfucker's bringing them ship, checking on them, calling them and everything.
It's hard to get the motherfucking text back from some
of them motherfucker's. You understand what I'm saying, Like, I
really got a little attitude about that, And I could
have went online and and and invented and said, oh
I got COVID, y'all. I'm not looking for sympathy, No,
I am not. I am letting y'all know this because
(12:35):
y'all need to be aware of what y'all need to do.
Y'all need to be aware that COVID is still the
funk out here, very much out here. You understand what
I'm saying, Just because we don't have to wear masks
any fucking more does not mean COVID is gone. Just
because we don't have to wear masks everywhere anymore does
not mean COVID does not exist. Just because the world
is opening up does not mean we cannot still catch COVID. Yes,
(13:00):
COVID is very much still out here and still alive, y'all.
And I need for y'all to understand that what I
do thank God for is letting me contract COVID at
the right time, because I have no shows. By the
time I do my next show, which is in Arlington, Texas,
July eighth and ninth, I should be free of COVID.
(13:21):
You know, I will be free of COVID. So I
do thank God for that. It didn't come in between
any of my money. I didn't have to fly anywhere
for any TV jobs or anything like that. Nothing. It
didn't come between anything, and so I do thank God
for that. This also gives me time to sit down
and reflect on how I can improve my set, because
I'm telling you I'm gonna talk about this ship on stage.
(13:43):
I'm gonna talk about how it affected me and and
some some funny parts and everything I would make me
see who the funk is there and who ain't because
I'm telling you, I really do got to my fucking
attitude about that ship. I'm talking about what my cousin
thought she had COVID. Oh, I was up and down
her motherfucking call logue when my brother there thought he
had fucking COVID. I visited him and his fucking house.
(14:04):
I'm talking about what I came to his house. I
bought him balloons, I bought him chocolate. I bought him
um plush socks because his toes get cold, and Ship.
I bought him medicine. I bought him plush blankets and ship.
I'm a good motherfucking person. Here, I go texting this
motherfucker and I don't get a texting to the next
(14:27):
day motherfucker's. And I know my fans who are listening
right now. If y'all would have known that I had it,
then y'all would have been checking on me. So I
do appreciate the support and the fact that I know
that y'all would have done that for me, you know,
but this is not a sympathy card. I'm trying to
pull none of that because I don't want any of that.
I just want you all to know, covid is still
(14:47):
out here. Okay. Now, we got a commercial and if
you click off of this podcast, I swear I'm gonna
beat your ass. Listen, so that will be no jest.
Fix my mess because I'm the one with the goddamn
mess right now now. I'm trying to get through this
ship right now. So I'm just letting y'all know, ain't
no mess for me. What I do want to do
is current news. Okay. So for those who did not know,
(15:10):
the BET Awards came on Sunday this past Sunday, to
be exact, and I loved how beautiful and black it was.
Shout out to Taraji p Henson, one of the best
hosts of the BET Awards that I've seen since Monique.
I love, love loved watching Taraji p Henson's outfit changes
and all her beautiful messages, all of her strong, powerful,
(15:34):
heartfelt messages to black women. I love the message behind
the Awards and how it was about the power behind
black women, the power that we have, the power that
we hold. I loved everything from Kirk Franklin's open with
Little Baby you know the song that they got together,
to the DMX tribute The d m X tribute was beautiful,
(15:56):
it was powerful. I loved it. And last but not leave,
they honored the Queen herself, Queen Latif for the beautiful black,
full figure Queen, and I loved how she finally, finally,
final love, acknowledged her sexuality. At the end of her speech,
she said, happy Pride. She's so graceful. I love her,
(16:20):
and she's so classy. She's the epitome of what a
strong black woman is and what a strong black woman
supposed to be. And listen, y'all know I wouldn't be
me if I didn't say this. The only segment I
did not like about the BET Awards was when they
had the cast of Tyler Perry's Sisters. Nice show. I
watched it a lot, and I love all the actresses
(16:40):
on there. I did not like how they made them girls.
And I say made because I know these were not
their words. The writers that bonnets are okay to wear outside. Now. Look,
I don't know what the funk everybody's problem is. What
moniques and she came out and said, sweet babies, don't
wear your fucking bonnets outside. Now listen, if y'all can
(17:03):
have strong opinions, about wearing them outside. Why the funk
can't she have her strong opinion about not wearing them? No, no, no, no,
real ship, we can do better than that. No, a
bonnet is not meant for you to wear outside. No,
it's not. I don't give a funk what you're talking about.
And I say in a segment that Fox Sold posted
where Tammy Roman was talking to Monique and m Tammy
(17:24):
was talking to her, you know, and she was saying,
you know what a bonnet is, Tammy, like, y'all know what,
y'all know what it is. Tammy kept on like trying
to fix the question a certain way, like, well whoa no, no,
now what if? But but but what if? But what if? Tammy?
No the bonnet? No baby, no, baby no, no. I
understand that you are the queen of bonnet chronicles. That's great,
(17:46):
that's that's amazing. That's something that you created. Great, that's fine.
Do that. But Monique is saying something totally different, and
you know what she's saying. You know exactly what she's saying. Tammy,
you don't have to ask the question eighty different ways
to get the same man, because she said what she said. No,
we don't got to wear that ship in the airports. No,
we don't got to wear that ship outside to the
store now to reach his own by all means, if
(18:08):
you want to do that, should do it. But a
bonnet is not a fucking hat. It's a scarf. It's
like a scarf, it's it's a nice's a part of
night attire. It's night garment. Like, I don't understand why
people are so bent out of fucking shape because she
said we shouldn't wear them outside. I'll talk about my
your business, which I don't remember the last time we
have a mind that our fucking business. Not with the
(18:28):
internet that we got today, nobody minds their business. And
like she said, us as black women are her business.
And it really offends me as a black woman who's
a part of a culture so big that we really
try to tear down Monique for voicing that. Y'all act
(18:50):
like she coming at us, y'all, acting like she's saying,
y'all some ghetto ass bitches, y'all, the the like she's
downing us or something. She gave her opinion, just like
we give our opinions every fucking day. It's okay for
someone to not feel the same way you feel, but
don't tear them down or degrade them for not feeling
the same way you feel. A bonnet is a night hat.
(19:13):
You wear that ship the bid you get up, and
you take it the funk off before you leave out
your house. That's how I feel about it. So I
second everything Monique says about that ship. And again I
also second getting the vaccine if you want to be
at your healthiest point and stay away from COVID. Not
(19:33):
saying you cannot catch COVID with the vaccine, because I
know people who have, but their symptoms are nothing like
mine right now. It's just like if you have the
flu shot, it lowers the risk of you having severe
symptoms when you catch the flu. You understand what I'm saying,
and just like that, I'm gonna end it on today.
(19:54):
Please wear your masks, sanitize, wash your hands. Get antibacterial
so Every soap is not good to wash your hands
to prevent bacteria. Anti bacterial soap is. Make sure you
sanitize your staring wheels, like I said, sanitize your door
knobs and anywhere you touch. Sanitize. Do not shake people's hands.
(20:16):
That's normalized hugging each other and holding your breath when
you do it. Or give a nigga pound, give a
nigga elbow, get in, get out. You know what I'm saying,
and I shall shake this ship off and be bad.
I love y'all. Make sure y'all tune in next week,
hump Day, every hump Day, and then my deepest pam

It's story time. So, guys, I went on a date
earlier last week. I'm sitting at the bar with a gentleman. Now,

Our food comes out, we say grace. We're eating. I
can't taste my food, so I tap them, babe, taste this.
Can you taste it? Because I can't taste it. After
(01:06):
he tastes it, he's like, well, it's not much flavor
acts for salt and pepper. So I did. I got
the salt pepper and I got the hot sauce right now,
mind you. I had salmon, spinach and mashed potatoes right
and the salmon came with like a greavy sauce that
I should have tasted and put the salt and pepper
on it and the hot sauce. Still couldn't taste it.
I asked him to taste it. He said, no, I
(01:28):

even still, I said, okay, but I should still be
able to taste the fact that it's not flavorful. You
understand what I'm saying. It was like eating air. So
I tasted his food. He had an apple walnut salad
with salmon as well, could not taste it. I ordered
a Coca Cola with extra its. That's my favorite beverage
(01:51):
other than my Hennessey sidecar with a half sugar room.
Could not taste that either. Now I look over in him,
not tell him. I think I'm gonna need a COVID test.
He was like, calm down, calm down. I was scared.
I'm talking about crying internally, Like I was scared as fun,
you know what I'm saying. So, of course that killed

(02:55):
the car, Jessica, I said, I do not smell it.
He said, yeah, you might need a COVID test. He
thought I was joking at first, though, I'm like, Babe, no,
I don't smell any of this ship. Now. I had
been feeling nasally for like the past four or five days. Now, listen,
I'm thinking that this is allergies because I have had
(03:16):
severe allergies this year so far. I've never had allergies
until this year, my twenty ninth year of living. I'm
getting a lot of things late. I just got chickenpox

(05:03):
in the face. I don't feel like Donna make up.
I am laying around my house wiggless, walking around my

ship has been kicking my ass up and down my house. Sweetheart,
Where did I get it from? Who the fuck knows?

meet and Greek. I could have very well got it
in Texas. I could have very well gotten it when
I landed, because when I came back, I had started
going out, you know, I had started, you know, I've
I've been in d C and shipped around motherfucker's all
(05:46):
types of ship. There could be no way of me
knowing who exactly gave it to me, but I do
know that everyone needs to protect themselves. And I am
certainly sure that I am getting the vaccine. And now, listen,
I was one of those people who was against it, like,
you know, oh my god, I don't want it. I
(06:07):
don't want it. I don't want now. I've never had
a flu shot, you know what I'm saying. And I've
had the flu. I've actually went on stage with the flu,
if I can remember it right. I did Comedy Zone
and Raleigh, North Carolina. I don't know if that's exactly right,
but I believe doing the Comedy Zone and Raleigh, North
Carolina doing my show with the flu just like Jordan,
(06:28):
you know what I'm saying. So I guess you can
call me Michael Jordan the Comedy. But this is different.
This is very, very much different. I've never ever been
unable to taste, not smell anything. You know. I have
crazy headaches, you know, all day. The ship affects me crazy.
You know. I got body aches, you know. Um, I
(06:51):
get cold and then I get hot. I get cold
and then I get hot. I'm deeply congested. The only
thing I do not have a is a sore throat.
But I'm telling you guys, this ship hurts and it's
nothing to play with. I have a child, I have
fans to go around. I have to be well, so
I have to get the vaccine. I I am a
person that travel a lot. And then not only do
(07:13):
I travel, I have a lot of contact with people,
you know, physical contact. People see me, run up to me,
give me a hug. A girl told me in the airport,
I don't care. I will catch COVID for you, baby.
I don't want you to catch it. That was before
I had it. Baby, I'm telling you now, if you
are listening, if you're the girl who told me that,
(07:33):
I would never want you to get COVID. Never, because
it's not as simple as you think. No, I do
not feel like I'm about to die. But I am
at the sickest point that I have ever been in
my life. No, I don't feel good. I'm having stomach pains.
It's all kinds of fucking symptoms, and everybody's symptoms are different. Yes,
I'm going to get the vaccine. No, I am not
(07:55):
forcing it on anybody. But if you can do your
part and you want to start living your life the
way that you used to live your life and not
have to be scared of catching COVID, the vaccine definitely
lowers your chances. And I am going to get it
because I got more shows to do, I got more
people to come in contact with. You know what I'm saying.
(08:16):
Protect yourself. Another thing I noticed that people do. People
will be diagnosed with COVID and they will not tell
anyone and still go out around people. That is very selfish.
I could never do that. I know people who have
had COVID and still went out to party around other
people with no masks or anything. I've been in my
(08:36):
house for the past seven days. No, it is not fun,
but I'm doing what i have to do so i
can do my part social distance. Wash your hands, were
your masks, especially if you're not vaccinated. Sanitize your hands
if you have no soap and water, sanitized. I'm telling
you it makes a good difference. Sanitize your door knobs,
your handles, your car, your staring will if you're a
(08:59):
person who shake hands, try to give more hugs. Hold
your breath when you go in for the hug. You
know what I'm saying. All types of stuff like that.
That ship matters, okay, and listen. I have a very
strong immune system. I take vitamins every day, my one
of days, my Elderberry, you know, Vitamin C, vitamin D,
sea moss. I take a teaspoon of sea moss every day.
(09:19):
Even with all of that, I still contracted COVID nineteen. Yes,
it's hard being isolated from the rest of the world. Yes,
it's hard being away from my son. It really is hard.
But I'm doing what i have to do, and I'm
also keeping myself busy. I'm writing comedy. I'm trying to
create content so when I do come up out of
this thing, I can make nice videos for you guys.
(09:42):
I can give y'all what y'all been missing. I'm packing
up my clothes because I'm moving out of my house.
I'm moving into a new condo. So yes, I'm keeping
myself busy, trying my very best. Another thing, y'all know,
I have a little frenchie. He's one and a half.
For some reason, my dog is experience and seeing the
same symptoms that I am. He's not eating in three days,
(10:04):
and I honestly believe in my heart it's because he
can't smell it. My dog is greedy. Now, as soon
as you put a bowl of food down this little
motherfucker's he's gonna go and attack it, demolish the food.
He hasn't touched his food in three days. I honestly
believe I gave my dog COVID. Now A long time ago.
(10:24):
I don't know if y'all remember this, but I was
on Live with Charlemagne, and Charlemagne told me that dogs
can catch COVID. A dog can't give you COVID, but
you can give a dog COVID. They can catch it. Now.
I do believe that to be true because he hasn't
drink anything as well. I honestly just believe that he's
not hungry because he can't smell it. Now. Their immune
(10:48):
systems are even stronger than ours. However, their symptoms still
affect them greatly. So I'm taking Bain to the vet
as soon as I get well. I'm gonna just try
to keep getting him to eat, keep getting him to
drink water. I'm saying this to bring awareness to the
fact that you can give COVID to your pets as well,
(11:08):
So be very very careful. If you love me, you'll
listen to this commercial and then we'll be right back. Now.
If you've ever had COVID, then you know it gets lonely,
and so you would love for people to check on you.
You feel good when people want to know how you're doing.
Who's checking on me? My mom? The guy who I
(11:29):
could have given COVID to, he checks on me every day,
all day throughout the day. You know, I have a
couple of industry friends that check on me. My little
sister and one of my girlfriends check on me every day.
I'm talking about calling this bitch was really get on
the goddamn plane to fly here to fucking check on
(11:51):
me in person. I'm like, girl, you got two beautiful
babies that you cannot take COVID back to. I would
not even let you do that, but it feels good
to know who's there for you and who aren't. Because
I have friends who live here in Baltimore, even family members.
You know who we're really sick who who thought they
had COVID I'm talking about. I was going around these
(12:13):
motherfucker's bringing them ship, checking on them, calling them and everything.
It's hard to get the motherfucking text back from some
of them motherfucker's. You understand what I'm saying, Like, I
really got a little attitude about that, And I could
have went online and and and invented and said, oh
I got COVID, y'all. I'm not looking for sympathy, No,
I am not. I am letting y'all know this because
(12:35):
y'all need to be aware of what y'all need to do.
Y'all need to be aware that COVID is still the
funk out here, very much out here. You understand what
I'm saying, Just because we don't have to wear masks
any fucking more does not mean COVID is gone. Just
because we don't have to wear masks everywhere anymore does
not mean COVID does not exist. Just because the world
is opening up does not mean we cannot still catch COVID. Yes,
(13:00):
COVID is very much still out here and still alive, y'all.
And I need for y'all to understand that what I
do thank God for is letting me contract COVID at
the right time, because I have no shows. By the
time I do my next show, which is in Arlington, Texas,
July eighth and ninth, I should be free of COVID.
(13:21):
You know, I will be free of COVID. So I
do thank God for that. It didn't come in between
any of my money. I didn't have to fly anywhere
for any TV jobs or anything like that. Nothing. It
didn't come between anything, and so I do thank God
for that. This also gives me time to sit down
and reflect on how I can improve my set, because
I'm telling you I'm gonna talk about this ship on stage.
(13:43):
I'm gonna talk about how it affected me and and
some some funny parts and everything I would make me
see who the funk is there and who ain't because
I'm telling you, I really do got to my fucking
attitude about that ship. I'm talking about what my cousin
thought she had COVID. Oh, I was up and down
her motherfucking call logue when my brother there thought he
had fucking COVID. I visited him and his fucking house.
(14:04):
I'm talking about what I came to his house. I
bought him balloons, I bought him chocolate. I bought him
um plush socks because his toes get cold, and Ship.
I bought him medicine. I bought him plush blankets and ship.
I'm a good motherfucking person. Here, I go texting this
motherfucker and I don't get a texting to the next
(14:27):
day motherfucker's. And I know my fans who are listening
right now. If y'all would have known that I had it,
then y'all would have been checking on me. So I
do appreciate the support and the fact that I know
that y'all would have done that for me, you know,
but this is not a sympathy card. I'm trying to
pull none of that because I don't want any of that.
I just want you all to know, covid is still
(14:47):
out here. Okay. Now, we got a commercial and if
you click off of this podcast, I swear I'm gonna
beat your ass. Listen, so that will be no jest.
Fix my mess because I'm the one with the goddamn
mess right now now. I'm trying to get through this
ship right now. So I'm just letting y'all know, ain't
no mess for me. What I do want to do
is current news. Okay. So for those who did not know,
(15:10):
the BET Awards came on Sunday this past Sunday, to
be exact, and I loved how beautiful and black it was.
Shout out to Taraji p Henson, one of the best
hosts of the BET Awards that I've seen since Monique.
I love, love loved watching Taraji p Henson's outfit changes
and all her beautiful messages, all of her strong, powerful,
(15:34):
heartfelt messages to black women. I love the message behind
the Awards and how it was about the power behind
black women, the power that we have, the power that
we hold. I loved everything from Kirk Franklin's open with
Little Baby you know the song that they got together,
to the DMX tribute The d m X tribute was beautiful,
(15:56):
it was powerful. I loved it. And last but not leave,
they honored the Queen herself, Queen Latif for the beautiful black,
full figure Queen, and I loved how she finally, finally,
final love, acknowledged her sexuality. At the end of her speech,
she said, happy Pride. She's so graceful. I love her,
(16:20):
and she's so classy. She's the epitome of what a
strong black woman is and what a strong black woman
supposed to be. And listen, y'all know I wouldn't be
me if I didn't say this. The only segment I
did not like about the BET Awards was when they
had the cast of Tyler Perry's Sisters. Nice show. I
watched it a lot, and I love all the actresses
(16:40):
on there. I did not like how they made them girls.
And I say made because I know these were not
their words. The writers that bonnets are okay to wear outside. Now. Look,
I don't know what the funk everybody's problem is. What
moniques and she came out and said, sweet babies, don't
wear your fucking bonnets outside. Now listen, if y'all can
(17:03):
have strong opinions, about wearing them outside. Why the funk
can't she have her strong opinion about not wearing them? No, no, no, no,
real ship, we can do better than that. No, a
bonnet is not meant for you to wear outside. No,
it's not. I don't give a funk what you're talking about.
And I say in a segment that Fox Sold posted
where Tammy Roman was talking to Monique and m Tammy
(17:24):
was talking to her, you know, and she was saying,
you know what a bonnet is, Tammy, like, y'all know what,
y'all know what it is. Tammy kept on like trying
to fix the question a certain way, like, well whoa no, no,
now what if? But but but what if? But what if? Tammy?
No the bonnet? No baby, no, baby no, no. I
understand that you are the queen of bonnet chronicles. That's great,
(17:46):
that's that's amazing. That's something that you created. Great, that's fine.
Do that. But Monique is saying something totally different, and
you know what she's saying. You know exactly what she's saying. Tammy,
you don't have to ask the question eighty different ways
to get the same man, because she said what she said. No,
we don't got to wear that ship in the airports. No,
we don't got to wear that ship outside to the
store now to reach his own by all means, if
(18:08):
you want to do that, should do it. But a
bonnet is not a fucking hat. It's a scarf. It's
like a scarf, it's it's a nice's a part of
night attire. It's night garment. Like, I don't understand why
people are so bent out of fucking shape because she
said we shouldn't wear them outside. I'll talk about my
your business, which I don't remember the last time we
have a mind that our fucking business. Not with the
(18:28):
internet that we got today, nobody minds their business. And
like she said, us as black women are her business.
And it really offends me as a black woman who's
a part of a culture so big that we really
try to tear down Monique for voicing that. Y'all act
(18:50):
like she coming at us, y'all, acting like she's saying,
y'all some ghetto ass bitches, y'all, the the like she's
downing us or something. She gave her opinion, just like
we give our opinions every fucking day. It's okay for
someone to not feel the same way you feel, but
don't tear them down or degrade them for not feeling
the same way you feel. A bonnet is a night hat.
(19:13):
You wear that ship the bid you get up, and
you take it the funk off before you leave out
your house. That's how I feel about it. So I
second everything Monique says about that ship. And again I
also second getting the vaccine if you want to be
at your healthiest point and stay away from COVID. Not
(19:33):
saying you cannot catch COVID with the vaccine, because I
know people who have, but their symptoms are nothing like
mine right now. It's just like if you have the
flu shot, it lowers the risk of you having severe
symptoms when you catch the flu. You understand what I'm saying,
and just like that, I'm gonna end it on today.
(19:54):
Please wear your masks, sanitize, wash your hands. Get antibacterial
so Every soap is not good to wash your hands
to prevent bacteria. Anti bacterial soap is. Make sure you
sanitize your staring wheels, like I said, sanitize your door
knobs and anywhere you touch. Sanitize. Do not shake people's hands.
(20:16):
That's normalized hugging each other and holding your breath when
you do it. Or give a nigga pound, give a
nigga elbow, get in, get out. You know what I'm saying,
and I shall shake this ship off and be bad.
I love y'all. Make sure y'all tune in next week,
hump Day, every hump Day, and then my deepest pam
Boys piece, Carefully Reckless, is a production of I Heart
